Fools Crow is based on interviews conducted in the 1970s. The holy
man tells Thomas E. Mails about his eventful life, from early
reservation days when the Sioux were learning to farm, to later times
when alcoholism, the cash economy, and World War II were fast eroding
the old customs. He describes this vision quests and his becoming a
medicine man.
